Cannot connect to Activation Server

My system is Windows Vista.

Recently installed ADE 3.0.

I tried to open ACSM file, both with & w/o authorization ID.

Both times, I get the same error: cannot connect to Activation Server

My internet connection works.

So, I configured my Windows Firewall, so that ADE 3.0 is on the exceptions list.

Same error: cannot connect to Activation Server

Help!

First of all, Please don't try to open the book w/o Authorization (if you don't know what does it mean).

If you use this option, you will not be able to open the book on any device.

Back to your query,

Did you try to deauthorize (Ctrl+Shift+D) and then Authorize again (help -> Authorize Computer) and then try to open the "acsm" file?
